My flatmate used to make Indian-style corn fritters - take a regular corn fritter recipe, use water instead of milk and gram flour instead of wheat flour, and add cumin, coriander, turmeric, chopped green chilli and coriander leaves (US: cilantro). Not a million miles from the bhaji concept, but thicker batter and shallow-fried.

It would probably work with any quickly cooked vegetable, but we liked corn.
